When the live streaming boom happened and all these consumer solutions started to enter the market, I was so damn relieved. But at USD 179.95 / EUR 189.95 / GBP 149.95 / AUD 279.95, who is it really suitable for? We took two perspectives: The video professional and the streaming enthusiast.Įdmond Tran, Editor/Senior Video Producer: Zorine, in my eight years at GameSpot I’ve captured and live streamed what feels like a million hours of video game footage and GameSpot staff playing said video game footage, I’ve had to use a variety of headache-inducing equipment to make all that happen. On paper, this makes the already easy-to-use unit a even more ideal all-purpose tool for game capture and live streaming capabilities.

The upgraded version of the unit, the HD60 S, boasts USB 3.0 capability to eliminate that problem and allow video data to flow through faster, at the cost of relying more on the computer’s CPU to assist in the the video processing workload. The only major downside is that the footage lags as the data waits to be processed on your computer, and this doesn’t make for an ideal live streaming experience. These days, capturing, sharing, and streaming what you’re playing is much easier- in some instances, built into gaming ecosystems and accessible with the push of a button.Įlgato recently released a new version of their existing HD60 capture device, an easy-to-use external video capture card which does the majority of video processing on-board the unit, allowing users to easily capture high-quality footage from consoles or other PCs. You needed a powerful machine, compatible PCIe capture cards, video splitters, and the patience to tinker with a long list of settings and troubleshoot an even longer list of things that could go wrong.
